Entropy driven key-lock assembly [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 2008
The effective interaction between a sphere with an open cavity (lock) and a spherical macroparticle (key), both immersed in a hard sphere fluid, is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. As a result, a two-dimensional map of the key-lock effective interaction potential is constructed, which leads to the proposal of a self-assembling mechanism ...

Dynamics of particles with “key-lock” interactions [PDF]

open access: greenEPL (Europhysics Letters), 2008
The dynamics of particles interacting by key-lock binding of attached biomolecules are studied theoretically. Examples of such systems include DNA-functionalized colloids as well as nanoparticles grafted with antibodies to cell membrane proteins.

Rational design of a “dual lock-and-key” supramolecular photosensitizer based on aromatic nucleophilic substitution for specific and enhanced photodynamic therapy

open access: diamondChemical Science, 2020
Photosensitizing agents are essential for precise and efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, most of the conventional photosensitizers still suffer from limitations such as aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) in physiological environments and ...

The size-selective interaction of key and lock nanocrystals driven by depletion attraction at the nanoscale

open access: hybridNanoscale, 2018
In this article, we study the size-dependent interactions of quasi-spherical nanocrystals with voids of concave nanoparticles of complementary sizes and shapes.

Molecular Docking: From Lock and Key to Combination Lock

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Medicine and Clinical Applications, 2018
Accurate modeling of protein ligand binding is an important step in structure-based drug design, is a useful starting point for finding new lead compounds or drug candidates. The 'Lock and Key' concept of protein-ligand binding has dominated descriptions of these interactions, and has been effectively translated to computational molecular docking ...

A DNA dual lock-and-key strategy for cell-subtype-specific siRNA delivery

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The efficient and precise delivery of siRNA to target cells is critical to successful gene therapy. While novel nanomaterials enhance delivery efficiency, it still remains challenging for precise gene delivery to overcome nonspecific adsorption and off ...

Two-piece obturator using “lock-and-key” mechanism

open access: diamondThe Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society, 2017
This paper describes a method used for the fabrication of a two-piece denture obturator for a patient who had surgical removal of the premaxilla due to squamous cell carcinoma. The patient had been wearing a two-piece obturator but encountered difficulty

Gradient Leakage Defense with Key-Lock Module for Federated Learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv.org, 2023
Federated Learning (FL) is a widely adopted privacy-preserving machine learning approach where private data remains local, enabling secure computations and the exchange of local model gradients between local clients and third-party parameter servers ...
